Belongs within: Ericales.
Contains: Diospyros, Sideroxyloideae.
The name Sapotales is used here for a proposed grouping of Ebenaceae and Sapotaceae, as recognised by Thorne (2000), though these families are included by recent authors in the Ericales. As such, it is a pantropical group of trees and shrubs, with leaves usually alternate in Sapotaceae and opposite in Ebenaceae. Fruits in both family are a berry or (more rarely) drupe with the calyx persistent. Thorne (2000) also included Lissocarpa, a genus of shrubs and trees found in tropical South America that resembles Ebenaceae except for the lack of any indumentum, as a third family of Sapotales. Members of both Sapotaceae and Ebenaceae are grown for their fruit, such as persimmons (Diospyros kaki and D. virginiana) and sapota (Manilkara zapota).
Manilkara is a genus of Sapotaceae bearing sepals in two distinct series and often with paired dorsal appendages on the corolla lobes (Liogier 1995). Chrysophyllum is a primarily Neotropical genus with cylindrical or campanulate flowers lacking staminodes (Liogier 1995). Staminodes are present in Micropholis which also has a brownish strigose-sericeous lower surface on the leaves. Poutiera differs from Micropholis in the lack of such a leaf lower surface (Liogier 1995).
